Chapter 14- Principle of hair design Flashcards
Horizontal Lines
Create width in the hair design
-Parallel to the floor and relative to the horizon
-Maintain a distance apart and are parallel
Vertical Lines
Create length in the hair design
-Makes the hairstyle appear longer and narrow; the eye follows the lines up and down
Diagonal Lines
Positioned between horizontal and vertical lines
-Often used to minimized and emphasize facial features
*these lines can create interest in a hairstyle
Curved lines
Moving in a circular direction, soften a design
Single lines
-Used in one length hairstyles
-clients wanting low maintenance
Parallel lines
-Repeating lines in a hairstyle
-repeating lines create more interest
Contrasting lines
-Horizontal and vertical lines that meet at a 90 degree angle
-Hard edges
-distinct look, for clients that are able to pull off a unique hairstyle
Transitional lines
-Curved lines used to blend and soften horizontal and vertical lines
-Texturizing haircut, color placing, and color blending
Directional lines
Are lines with a definite forward or backward movement
Form
Is the mass of general outline of a hairstyle
-Three dimensional; length, width, and depth
-Minimal texture
-Should be proportional to the shape of the head and face, the length of the neck, and shoulder line
Shape
The area surrounding the form or the area of the hairstyle occupies
-Every movement the relationship of the form and space change
-The space may contain curls, curves, straight, hair, or any combination
Design texture
Refers to the directional wave pattern or illusion of motion in the hair
-Straight hair, reflects light better
-Curly hair, more coiled and grows compact together; reflects less light
-Wavy hair, combed directionally to create horizontal lines
Proportion
Is the comparative of one this to another.
-Understanding facial and proportion is important
-very small chin and very wide forehead; head shape that is not in proportion
-Hair styles can create the illusion of better proportion for such a client
Balance
Is establishing qual or appropriate proportions to create symmetry
-Proportion of height to width
-Symmetrical or asymmetrical
-Measure symmetry- divide the face into four equal parts
Symmetrical balance
occurs when an imaginary line is drawn through the center of the face and the two resulting halves form a mirror image to one another
-Both sides of the hairstyle and the same distance form the center, same length, have the same volume when viewed from the front.
Asymmetrical balance
-When two imaginary halves of a hairstyle have an equal visual weight, but are positioned unevenly
-Opposite side of the hairstyle are different lengths or have a different volume
-Can be horizontal or diagonal
Rhythm
-Regular pulsation or recurrent pattern of movement in a design
-Fast rhythm move quickly, tight curls are a example
Emphasis
“Focus”
-A design is what draws the eye first, before it travels to the rest of the design
-Well balanced, good rhythm, and good harmony; yet still be boring
-Create interest with an area of emphasis or focus by using; wave patterns, color, change in form, ornamentation.
-Less is more
Harmony
Creation of unity in a design and is the most important of the art principles
-Holds the element of design together
*form with interesting lines
*pleasing color or combination of colors and texture
* balance and rhythm that together strengthen the design
Physical characteristics
1.Shape of the head, including the front view (face shape) profile, and back view
2. Length of the neck
3. Facial features (perfect as well as imperfect features)
4. Body shape and posture
Straight, fine hair
This combination usually hugs the head shape due to the lack of body or volume, and marginal elasticity
Straight, medium hair
this type of hair offers more versatility in styling.
Straight, coarse hair
This hair is hard to curl and carried more volume than the previous two types.
Wavy, fine hair
This type of hair can appear fuller when diffused with heat and the appropriate haircut and style
Wavy, medium hair
This type of hair offers the most versatility in styling as it has the most uniformity of pattern
Wavy, coarse hair
This hair type can produce a silhouette that is very voluminous if it is not shaped properly
Curly, fine hair
When this type is worn long, it often separates, revealing the clients scalp unless the hair is very dense
Curl, medium hair
This hair type creates a silhouette with subliminal volume
Curly, coarse hair
This hair type usually represents a mixture of coiled to extremely coiled hair strands
Very curly, fine hair
The most flattering shape for the client must be determined before you begin styling
Extremely curly, medium hair
This silhouette can promote horizontal lines of volume, as it tends to widen as it grows longer because of the amount of curls
Extremely curly, coarse hair
This silhouette will be extremely wide.
